     I agree with you on all counts.  I hadn't seen Keller throw ever until I watched the Nevada game.  He indeed does have kind of a hitch in his throwing motion.  It is fluid like say the motion of a Colt McCoy.  From what I had heard I was really expected a nice fluid motion.  But, with that said that doesn't mean he can't be effective or hasn't been effective.  


     As for Nebraska fans, compared to some fans as a whole they are pretty good.  But they are not the absolute fabulous fans they sometimes think they are or want people to think they are.  I lost some respect for NU fans during the very Frost situation you describe.  To boo a home state product in his first few games I thought was nothing less than deplorable.  Now I understand not every last fan booed but fans are judged by the whole and not by certain individuals.


    And, finally, it is unfortunate that his may be largely a learning year for Keller and it is his only year.  We will never know what he could do with a year in this system under his belt.
